Athletic Evils Minor, Asserts College Prexy San Antonio, Tex. ? (AP) Dr. Wilson Elkins, president of Texas Western College, says he j asks critics two questions when he j hears talk regarding the evils of college athletics. He asks: 1. Does the college athletic pro- 1 gram hurt the academic program, ! the heart of college existence? 2. What happens to the boys j who play college athletics, partic ularly football? "1 have yet to hear that the college academic program has been hurt and in the case of the boys who played, 1 have taken the trouble to check extensively and have found that they do just about as well as any others," says Dr. Elkins. Dr Elkins told a Quarterback Club here that he is convinced that abuses are minor in relation to the great advantages of college sports and that associations and connec tions that men make in college sports can be of great value to them throughout their lives. Chimed in Mike Brumbelow, football coach at Texas Western: "There's no misunderstanding at our place about who runs the col lege. I remember when I first arrived 1 was horrified, as an old Texas Christian University boy, to find that Texas Western, being a branch of the University of Tex as, had the same school colors and sang the same school song, "The Eyes of Texas.' " "I even got up nerve one day to suggest to Dr. Elkins that the colors and song be changed, lie let me know without hesitation that is would be wiser and easier to change the head football coach, so we have understood each oth er perfectly ever since."

It's a great idea and a great cartoon. However, I heard a story the other day about a local gal that puts all the Dennis stories to shame, and this is the way it goes. Coretta Cherry, that beautiful Glamour Gal wife of one of our more illustrious characters, Bill Cherry, and daughter of Dr. Sam Thompson, when about 5 years old was playing with the gang, then comprised of about 14 neighbor hood boys. Coretta was the only girl allowed, for the simple reason she was quite a tomboy in those days and the only girl in the whole neighbor hood. Well anyway, they were playing Pirates. So naturally the play got around to buried treasure, and Coretta was delegated to dig up the treasure or she couldn't play. Now the treasure in this case was Mrs. Thompson's jewel box, re splendent with diamonds, watch es and assorted trinkets. Thi* band of pirates buried the treasure all right, they even drew a map, but someone got fouled up on their calculations and to this day the treasure has never been found, but is still buried some where in the neighborhood. Won der how much a good shovel costs? Spring must be just around the corner because the waterfont is waking Up. Captain Hubert Ful cher is hammering away putting a flying bridge on his sport fishing boat, Blue Water. 'Twon't be long now 'till the tourists will b" mill ing around like confused sheep staring at the fish on the racks all up and down the waterfront. 1 see the tackle shop across from Captain Tony's is getting a new front and a general face lifting. You know it's exciting to think about all the activity that's coming with Spring, but isn't it so nice and peaceful here now. Harold Simpson bought a brand new green golf jacket at the club house, so when he came in after playing a round, we asked him did his jacket help his score any. His exact words were, "If you'll give me $3.50 for it you can have it." P. S., he just paid $13.50 for it two hours before. His partner, Charlie Davis, said, "It will take more than a new jacket to do him any good." 1 saw Robert Seamon and Ted Garner playing a round the other day. Now we need to get Captain Tony out there and we will really have something. Fellow said, "Gee, I fee! rough today." Friend asked, '"Did you get drunk last night?" Fellow, "Sure, but when I went to bed last night I felt the best, and when I woke up this morning I felt terrible. Must have been the sleep that did it."
